"She was anti-Obama when anti-Obama wasn't cool" Edition...

James Wright at the Conservative Funhouse:

"I love Sarah Palin. Her courage and convictions are awe inspiring. If the GOP had half her gumption, my hope for the future would be fully intact. What I do know is that she is front and center taking all the arrows. She is the trailblazer- taking it to the Obama machine head first. She is dragging the GOP to the finish line. She was anti-Obama before it was cool."

Patricia Murphy at Politics Daily:

"Sarah Palin gave [Tim] Scott's campaign a huge bump when she endorsed him for Congress."

Jason Wright at Political Derby:

"Palin-backed candidates have cleaned up in the spring primary season and her appearances at Tea Party rallies generate more buzz and pop than Justin Beiber on a Red Bull binge. The criticism of her resigning as Alaska’s governor has faded and she skillfully turned stalkerneighborgate into a positive."

Amy Siskind at The New Agenda:

"So for all these caught up in extolling feminist relativism – here’s Palin who is busy accomplishing."

Melissa Clouthier at Amplify.com:

"The Press absolutely loves getting, on-mic, a loathed politician (generally a Republican) in unguarded moments. They aren’t so gleeful when their own bias, hatred and pettiness is caught on tape as happened after the Palin speech in California."

David Swindle at the NewsReal Blog:

"The trend we’ve been seeing with Palin recently has been very encouraging. While she may have been green during her vice presidential run she’s learning... very quickly. In the past I’ve been skeptical of the possibility of a President Palin but if she continues in this fashion then that might change."

United Press International:

"Sarah Palin continues to be a potent force in U.S. politics even out of office as Republican candidates scramble to secure her endorsement..."

Jenn Q. Public at NewsReal Blog:

"Mark Morford’s San Francisco Chronicle column is what a leftist’s diary might look like — if that leftist was a horny 14-year-old with a man-sized crush on Obama and a predilection for verbally abusing conservative women. Hmm. Scratch that. Morford’s column is exactly what a leftist’s diary would look like. Morford’s current mission is to expose the “perverted kind of new womanhood” of Sarah Palin, Meg Whitman, and Nikki Haley. Ladies of the Left beware! warns Morford. The success of these 'largely insufferable' conservative women comes packaged with a 's–bag of downsides, drawbacks, jackals and b__ches.' You kiss your mama with that mouth, Mark?"

Mondo Frazier at DBKP:

"Two recent incidents – reporters caught on mike at a Sarah Palin speech and the Dave Weigel resignation – show the contempt MSM reporters have for the people they cover. Both are examples of MSM reporters as big city hicks, relying on superstition about the outside world passed down to them from their elders in the provincial capitals of NYC and DC. Thank goodness so few Americans rely on them for actual news."

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air:

"Maybe CSU-S’ school of business should hold a seminar for public officials unclear on the concept of profit... The state of California and its Democratic leadership act as though they’ve never heard of anything like this before in their lives, but that is ludicrous on its face... It’s also a measure of the level of Palin Derangement Syndrome suffered by California politicians. Palin certainly delivered an educating experience with this speech. Hopefully, the voters of California learned something from the hysteria coming out of Sacramento at the prospect of a working mom giving a speech at a fundraiser."

Rick Moore at HolyCoast.com:

"Her appearance in Turlock last week netted Cal State Stanislaus $200,000... There's quite a few schools in the Cal State and University of California systems. Perhaps the state needs to hire her to speak at all the schools, and some of those smarmy students who protested might be able to get a reduction in their tuition. "

Melissa Afable at NewsBusters:

"One wonders where Olbermann's outrage was when then-candidate Obama mistakenly said in June 2008 that he'd been to 57 states."

Slublog at Hot Air's Green Room:

"I know Sullivan’s writing is a target-rich environment, but this is just remarkable hypocrisy from a man who regularly uses his platform at The Atlantic to demonize those with whom he disagrees. His concern over one’s private life and email accounts must be a newly minted opinion. After all, during the 2008 presidential campaign and after, Sullivan wrote post after post after post after post after post in which he referenced things Sarah Palin had written in emails. Since Sullivan and Palin are probably not in regular email contact with one another, it’s safe to assume Sullivan repeatedly quoted email that Palin wrote in confidence."

Gary P. Jackson at The Cypress Times:

"With every passing speech, every new appearance, Sarah Palin looks more powerful, more in control, and more presidential."

Daria DiGiovanni:

"My favorite female patriot has penned yet another excellent, insightful and unapologetic take-down of the Obama agenda... No one, and I mean, absolutely no one gets under his skin the way Sarah Palin does, simply with a keyboard and a Facebook membership."
